About the Robinson Family Tartan
The Robinson name is a patronymic, "son of Robin" — Robin being the familiar form of Robert, one of the commonest names of medieval Britain. In the Scottish clan tradition, Robinson is counted among the many names of Clan Donnachaidh, whose principal surnames are Robertson, Reid and Duncan.
Those of the name are most fittingly matched with the Robertson tartan of Clan Donnachaidh. The name is also long established in the Border country and northern England, where the kindred name Robson was one of the riding surnames.
Robinson Tartan Pattern and Colours
Worn with the Robertson tartan, this collection draws on a bold red ground crossed with green, blue and black — the warm colours of Clan Donnachaidh of Atholl, fitting for a name counted among their kin.
Robinson Heritage
Because Robert and its pet form Robin were so widespread, the surname arose independently in many places, and in Scotland it was drawn into the great kindred of Clan Donnachaidh, the Children of Duncan, whose lands lay in Atholl and about Loch Rannoch in Perthshire.
In the Border country and northern England the related name Robson was borne by one of the riding surnames of the frontier, and Robinsons are numerous there to this day. From both roots the name spread widely, and it is now among the most common in the English-speaking world.
